text: Masjid al-Hisn was built between 717 and 720 CE by the Umayyad caliph Umar II, as part of his conversion of Mopsuestia into a military base to shield Antioch from a potential Greek attack. A cistern within the structure was inscribed with Umar's full name, Umar ibn-'Abd-al-'Aziz. The building fell into ruin during the reign of al-Mu'tasim, approximately 120 years later.
